Method Detail

range

public static RangeIndex range(DataType dataType)

Returns an instance of RangeIndex class with specified DataType.

Here is an example to create RangeIndex instance passing in the DataType: RangeIndex rangeIndex = Index.range(DataType.NUMBER);

Parameters:

dataType - the data type.

Returns:

an instance of RangeIndex type.

range

public static RangeIndex range(DataType dataType,
                               int precision)

Returns an instance of RangeIndex class with specified DataType and precision.

Here is an example to create RangeIndex instance passing in the DataType and precision: RangeIndex rangeIndex = Index.RANGE(DataType.NUMBER, -1);

Parameters:

dataType - specifies the target data type for the index path specification.

precision - specifies the precision to be used for the data type associated with this index.

Returns:

an instance of RangeIndex type.

hash

public static HashIndex hash(DataType dataType)

Returns an instance of HashIndex class with specified DataType.

Here is an example to create HashIndex instance passing in the DataType: HashIndex hashIndex = Index.HASH(DataType.STRING);

Parameters:

dataType - specifies the target data type for the index path specification.

Returns:

an instance of HashIndex type.

hash

public static HashIndex hash(DataType dataType,
                             int precision)

Returns an instance of HashIndex class with specified DataType and precision.

Here is an example to create HashIndex instance passing in the DataType and precision:

HashIndex hashIndex = Index.HASH(DataType.STRING, 3);

Parameters:

dataType - specifies the target data type for the index path specification.

precision - specifies the precision to be used for the data type associated with this index.

Returns:

an instance of HashIndex type.

spatial

public static com.azure.cosmos.SpatialIndex spatial(DataType dataType)

Returns an instance of SpatialIndex class with specified DataType.

Here is an example to create SpatialIndex instance passing in the DataType:

SpatialIndex spatialIndex = Index.SPATIAL(DataType.POINT);

Parameters:

dataType - specifies the target data type for the index path specification.

Returns:

an instance of SpatialIndex type.

getKind

public IndexKind getKind()

Gets index kind.

Returns:

the index kind.
